Limited Production 2014 Hyundai Veloster RE:FLEX Blows Into the Windy City

By Jeff Youngs, February 10, 2014

Hyundai says that the new 2014 Veloster RE:FLEX Edition model that the company debuted at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show is a response to what the automaker's customers say they want. As Scott Margason, director of product planning at Hyundai, explained: "Veloster customers desire limited-edition models with even sportier styling, unique features and exclusive colors that allow them to stand out from the crowd and that is exactly what RE:FLEX Edition delivers."

In order to serve that buyer, Hyundai has based the new RE:FLEX Edition on the standard Veloster equipped with the 138-horsepower, 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission. No turbo and no clutch pedal are available.

If this sounds appealing, know that Hyundai will build just 3,000 units of the Veloster RE:FLEX Edition, which means that when the car goes on sale in early spring of 2014, motivated buyers should get to a dealership before they're all gone.
